Plastocrete 161
Plastocrete ®161
Water Reducing Admixture
Description Plastocrete 161 is a lignin polymer -type water - reducing admixture.
Plastocrete 161 meets the requirements of ASTM C -494 Types A, B and D.
Applications Plastocrete 161 is recommended for use in all applications where high quality
concrete with superior workability is required.
. ........... ....___.. ....... .___._.._-..__._ ..._..__.....------- ..- .-- - - - - -.
Advantages Plastocrete 161 water reducing admixture provides an economical and highly
effective means of reducing the amount of mixing water required to produce
concrete of a certain slump by acting as a dispersant for the cement particles
in the mix.
Through this dispersing action more of the surface area of the cement particles
is available for early hydration. The more cement particles hydrated by contact
with the mixing water, the greater the compressive strength of the concrete.
Plastocrete 161 is formulated as a Type A water reducer to allow up to 10%
water reduction and maximize the benefits of increased hydration in both the
hardened and plastic states.
■ Reduced water content required to achieve desired slump, increases
compressive and flexural strengths and allows the use of more economi-
cal mixes.
• Improved paste quality makes concrete easier to pump and finish.
• Consistent normal setting times throughout the recommended dosage.
• Lower water cement ratios provide decreased permeability and increased

• Plastocrete 161 does not contain intentionally added chlorides and will

How to Use
Dosage Dosage rates will vary depending on the material used, ambient conditions
and the requirements of a specific project.
For general concreting applications, Sika recommends a dosage rate between
2 -4 fl.oz. /100 lbs. (130 -260 ml /100 kg) of cementitious materials for normal
setting characteristics. Dosage rates of 4 -6 fl.oz. /100 lbs. (260 -390 ml /100 kg)
of cementitious materials are recommended for applications where higher
water reduction is needed as well as extended workability and prolonged
setting times.
Dosage rates outside the recommended range may be used where
specialized materials such as microsilica are specified, extreme ambient
conditions are encountered or unusual project conditions require special con-
sideration. In this case please contact your local regional Sika office or Sika
technical service department at 1- 800 - 933 -7452 for further information.

Plastiment
Plastiment®
Water Reducing and Retarding Admixture
Description
Plastiment is a water - reducing and retarding admixture.
Plastiment meets the requirements of ASTM C-494 Types B and D.
Applications
Plastiment is recommended for use whenever high quality concrete with pre-
dictable and controlled set times is desired. Use in flatwork and horizontal or
vertical slipform placements where a supe surface fin i s r equ ir ed.
Advantages
Plastiment is highly effective in hot weather concreting to offset the accelerat-
ing effects of high ambient temperatures by slowing the hydration reaction and
controlling the hydration heat. Concrete workability is enhanced and a supe-
rior surface finish is obtained.
In mass concrete pours Plastiment controls temperature rise and reduces the
risk of thermal cracking.
■ Initial set times are delayed, allowing time for proper placement and fin-
ishing without cold joints in hot weather conditions.
■ Plastiment increases concrete density and delivers increased early and
ultimate, compressive and flexural strengths.
■ For flatwork applications Plastiment acts as a finishing aid, workability is
improved, bleeding is controlled and a superior surface finish is obtained.
■ Lower water cement ratios provide decreased permeability and increased
durability.
■ Plastiment can be used to retard concrete during the hot weather con-
creting. Refer to ACI 305R Hot Weather Concreting for more information.
Plastiment does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added
chlorides.
How to Use

Sika AER
Sika® AER
Air Entraining Admixture
Description
Sika AER admixture is a concentrated liquid solution of neutralized
vinsol resin.
Sika AER meets the requirements of ASTM C -260 for Air Entraining
Admixtures.
Applications
Sika AER can be used whenever air entrained concrete is desired. Ready -
mix, precast and block producers can achieve optimum entrained air contents,
even where harsh mixes are used or fly -ash is added to the mix.
Sika AER is an effective and economical means to improve the paste quality
of lean concrete mixes.
Advantages
Durability: Air entrainment is recognized as the most effective prevention
against concrete scaling in exposed environments. Air entrained concrete
delivers particular benefits in the form of increased concrete durability. This
is important in colder climates where frost and freeze -thaw cycles can cause
scaling and damage to the concrete surface.
Air entraining agents help to prevent scaling by creating millions of microscopic
air voids that water trapped in the concrete can expand into when the concrete
freezes, thus preventing cracks caused by the natural expansion. Entrained air
voids in the concrete will also increase durability in harsh environments where
concrete is exposed to deicing salts, marine salts and sulfates.
Workability and Placeability: Workability and placeability are also improved
by the lubricating action of the microscopic bubbles in the concrete. The
concrete flows better, bleeding and shrinkage is reduced because lower water
content is needed for desired workability.
It has been formulated and manufactured specifically to provide stable and
predictable air contents in concrete, with uniform air bubble spacing through-
out the concrete matrix.

How to Use
-- -_..—_ ..... -.----_._ .... ............ .......................... .......-...........---.....---.............-................_._._.....__._.........__...._......................_..__...__._................------
Dosage
Dosage rates for Sika AER will typically fall between 0.5 and 1.5 fl. oz. /100
lbs. (32 - 97 ml /100 kg) of cementitious to entrain between 4 and 6 percent air.
Higher air contents may be obtained by increasing the dosage rate.
Dosage rates will vary depending on the air content required for a particular
project. Typically air contents will be specified in the range of 4 to 8 percent by
volume.
Other factors that may affect the amount of air entrained into the concrete
include, but are not limited to total cementitious content, type of pozzolanic
materials, sand gradation, temperature and water content. Sika recommends
that trial mixes be tested whenever material or any other changes are made
that may affect the amount of entrained air.
Mixing
Measure the required quantity per batch manually or with automatic dispenser
equipment. Add Sika AER to mixing water or sand. Do not mix with dry ce-
ment. When used in combination with other admixtures, care must be taken to
dispense each admixture separately into the mix.
Combination with Other Admixtures:
Combination with other admixtures, particularly water reducers and retarders,
will tend to increase the amount of entrained air in the mix. Air contents should
be checked with an air -meter after batching and dosage adjustments made at
the concrete plant.
Packaging
Sika AER is supplied in 55 gallon (208 liter) drums and bulk delivery.
Storage and Shelf Life
Sika AER should be stored at above 40 °F (5 °C). If frozen, thaw and agitate
thoroughly to return to its normal state before use.
Shelf life when stored in dry warehouse conditions between 50eF and 80 °F
(10 °C - 27 °C) is one year.

Eve Protection:
Safety glasses with side shields or goggles, should be worn when engaged in activities where Cement dust wet
cement, or concrete could contact the eye. In extremely dusty environments and unpredictable environments,
wear unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or injury. Contact lenses should not be worn
when working with ready mix concrete or fresh concrete products.
Skin Protection:
Prevention is essential to avoid potentially severe skin injury Avoid contact with unhardened (wet) concrete
products. If contact occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Wear impervious clothing and
gloves to eliminate skin contact where prolonged exposure to unhardened ready mix concrete products might
occur Wear boots that are impervious to water to eliminate foot and ankle exposure If standing in wet concrete
rubber boots must be worn to prevent injury
Wet concrete may splash into open boot tops and saturate socks and remain in contact for a lengthy period of
time. Prevention is to ensure that boots are fully laced up.
Do not rely on barrier creams, barrier creams should riot be used in place of gloves.
Periodically wash areas in contact with dry portland cement, wet cement, or concrete fluids with a pH- neutral
soap. Wash again at the end of workday. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area and seek
treatment. Clothing saturated with wet concrete should be removed immediately and replaced with clean. dry
clothing. Do no: allow clothing saturated with wet concrete to remain in contact with skin for any penod of time.
